So, as i was placing my pololus back onto my sanguino, and I didn't notice until too late that one of the pololu heatsinks was slightly off kilter. As soon as i turned on 12v I heard that signature short-pop and immediately turned it off. Though I'm certainly not sure of the cause, after some examination the only cause i could see was that the heatsink was slightly over a couple pins on either side of the pololu. I removed the heatsink entirely and tried to connect just through USB, and no result. I (hesitantly) tried powering up again without the heatsink, and did not hear or see any further signs of a short, but I could still not connect. I also tried removing the pololus again and still nothing.
I know that shorts into the wrong pin can spell death, but is there anything I can do to test/fix what the issue is?
